"(...) no gesture is without meaning and no song without a soul. His style is unmistakeable and his method thorough. So few examples of pure beauty exist in this world, Oil 10 have given us yet another. Respect."

"...Fans of well-crafted electronica and cinematic ambience can give their ears something new to crave for with ‘Retrofuture’ but also the ones who already own certain releases of OIL10 will find their money’s worth invested as some new tracks are waiting as well."

"...Stylistically linking with unique and
instantly identifiable sounds this is by turns a masterly and perfectly
crafted, melodic, uplifting, melancholy and driving hybrid of robotic
techno and lush, infectious cold wave/ambience."

"...Oil 10 perfectly fills the gap
between the ancestors of electronics and the new, contemporary icons!
(...) The outstanding "Lost in Metropolis" remains one of
the best illustrations of the genius emerging from this band!"

"Overall this record is a fine combination
of technoid textures, vast quantities of precisely manipulated analog
treats scattered on top of upbeat electronics. (...) The hypnotizing
atmosphere of well-crafted unique sound is something you would find
irresistible."

"...Some of it suggests a robot reverie
